Hello!

I have about 140 pounds of live rock, and no real clean up crew since my puffer ate them!

The rock is starting to show somw buildup. I tried using a turkey baster, to no avail.

Can you clean live rock? Is there another lasting solution? I have two powerheads aimed at the rock, but the stuff is stuck on pretty good.

You need a cleanup crew. You may have to get rid of your puffer.

Either wave bye to the puffer or wave hi to the gunk.

I went through a horrible hair algae problem and my clean-up crew could just not keep up. Every couple of months I would take the rock out and hit it with a hard bristle scrub brush (like the one you clean you tires with). Make sure you do this with discarded WC water. Is a pain in the butt, but sometimes a must.
